In this study, researchers want to learn about the safety of BAY3283142 after a single dose and multiple doses in participants with mild to moderate high blood pressure. The study treatment called BAY3283142 helps to relax blood vessels. It is currently under development for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). CKD is a condition in which the kidneys' ability to work gradually decrease over time. NPDR is a condition in which high blood glucose levels cause damage to the blood vessels of the retina, which is a tissue at the back of the eyes. During this study, participants will take either different doses of the study drug BAY3283142 as tablets by mouth or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. At the start of this study, the study doctor will check the medical history and current medications of the participants. They will also perform a complete health check on all the participants. Researchers will collect blood and urine samples from the participants at different time points to assess the safety and effects of BAY3283142. Each treatment scheme will consist of three doses that are given in a consecutive manner. For the first 7 days, participants will receive a lower dose of BAY3283142 in each treatment scheme. The middle and the higher dose of each treatment scheme will be given for 14 days each. Participants will not know which treatment (placebo or BAY3283142) they will be given, but the study doctor will know which group received which treatment. A participant can be in the study for 10 weeks. This study will be conducted on men or postmenopausal women participants with mild to moderate high blood pressure who may not directly benefit from treatment with BAY3283142. However, information collected in this study will serve as a basis for the development of BAY3283142 for the treatment of people with CKD or NPDR. Participants may experience pain and discomfort when blood samples are taken. The researchers will closely monitor and manage any medical problems that the participants may have during the study.
This study plans to compare the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted fundus images with other ophthalmic devices such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.
This study aims to slow down disease progression, reduce postoperative complications and decrease retreatment frequency in subjects with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) by administering a single subretinal injection of RRG001 gene therapy after vitrectomy.
Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing vascular complications. Microvascular dysfunction might be caused by the increased production of methylglyoxal under hyperglycaemic conditions. Methylglyoxal is a by-product of glycolysis and forms advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on proteins and DNA, thereby disrupting their function. Preventing methylglyoxal accumulation and AGEs formation may offer a therapeutic option for treating microvascular complications in diabetics. Pyridoxamine is a vitamin B6 vitamer that scavenges methylglyoxal and thereby inhibits the formation of AGEs. In this study, the researchers investigate whether pyridoxamine supplementation in type 2 diabetes improves microvascular function in the eye, kidney and skin, and reduces markers of endothelial dysfunction and glycation.
The study used a new surgical technique: intraoperative fluorescence imaging,In the 1980s, some scholars proposed the concept of intraoperative fluorescein angiography.During vitrectomy, intraoperative fluorescein angiography under 3D microscope can guide the surgeon to observe the non-perfusion area and new blood vessels on the same screen for accurate retinal photocoagulation therapy.Through this technology, the primary retinal disease can be identified in time after the removal of vitreous hemorrhage during surgery, providing effective imaging evidence support for the design of further treatment.
In the United States, only 62% of the 37 million people with diabetes receive annual screening exams for diabetic retinopathy. One of the goals of the US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2030 campaign is to increase diabetic retinopathy screening rates to 70.3%. Research indicates that low screening rates are associated with a variety of factors, including income levels, race and lack of access to care. Furthermore, because diabetic retinopathy frequently presents asymptomatically, non-adherence to screening results in postponed disease detection and a higher probability of vision loss. Currently, it is estimated that 9 million adults in the US are affected by diabetic retinopathy, and 1.8 million suffer from vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy. Importantly, the rates of vtDR vary greatly by race, with Hispanic individuals at 7.14% and Black individuals at 8.66%, compared to 3.55% in White individuals. Despite these alarming figures, the disease can be managed and vision loss can often be averted with early disease detection, thus highlighting the importance of increasing screening rates. A clear need exists for a diabetic retinopathy screening tool that can be deployed in primary care settings, addressing the shortage of specialist care and making screening more accessible to underserved populations. OPTDR01 will directly address these issues by providing accessible, high quality screening for diabetic retinopathy. OPTDR01 will automatically detect more than mild diabetic retinopathy (mtmDR) and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (vtDR) in diabetic adults who have not previously been diagnosed with mtmDR or vtDR.
This study is open to adults with diabetic retinopathy. People who have non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy of moderate or high severity can join the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764524 helps people with diabetic retinopathy. The study also aims to find a suitable treatment plan for BI 764524. Participants are put into 5 groups by chance. Participants in groups 1, 2, and 3 get BI 764524. Over 1 year, they get a different number of injections of the same dose of BI 764524 injected into 1 eye. During some visits, participants may get a sham control, which is done like an eye injection but without a needle, so that participants will not know how many injections of BI 764524 they received. Participants in group 4 only get a sham control. Participants in group 5 (only in the USA) get aflibercept or sham injections during some visits. Aflibercept is a medicine already used to treat diabetic retinopathy. Participants are in the study for one and a half years. During this time, they visit the study site at least 16 times. During this time, doctors regularly do eye exams and visual tests to assess the severity of participants' eye condition. After 1 year of treatment, researchers look at the number of participants with eye improvements. To do so, they compare eye damage and certain severe eye problems between the groups of participants. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Macular edema in diabetes, defined as retinal thickening within two disc diameters of the center of the macula, results from retinal microvascular changes that compromise the blood-retinal barrier, causing leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina and consequently retinal edema. Thickening of the basement membrane and reduction in the number of pericytes are believed to lead to increased permeability and incompetence of the retinal vasculature. This compromise of the blood-retinal barrier leads to the leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina with subsequent retinal edema. Hypoxia produced by this mechanism can also stimulate the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases retinal vascular permeability, causes breakdown of the blood-retina barrier and results in retinal edema. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of visual reduction in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. The prevalence of DME globally is around 6.8 %. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness worldwide. DME is a complication of diabetic retinopathy that affects the macula, which is located at the center of the retina and responsible for central vision. Bangladesh is the 10th country in the world for the number of adults living with diabetes with some 7.1 million (5.3-12.0). In Bangladesh, it is therefore expected that diabetic secondary complications, like DR, will increase along with the rising trend of diabetes mellitus. The use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies has revolutionized in the treatment of many diseases. In recent years, millions of patients have been successfully treated with these biological agents. Ranibizumab is one such therapeutic monoclonal antibody for intraocular use. Ranibizumab is a humanized, recombinant, immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody fragment against vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and thus prevents choroidal neovascularization. The small size of ranibizumab allows for enhanced diffusion into the retina and choroid.
